Vidhu

Vidu is a child who eagerly wants to go to school like other children of his age, but unfortunately is deprived of that right for reasons beyond his control. He does not have a legitimate father. Mother is a pickpocket and earns only few bucks hardly sufficient to feed him. They live in an isolated house in a coastal tourist-town. Other than the knowledge of English acquired by talking to tourists, Vidu does not have any form of formal primary education. One day a tourist throws Vidu a dollar note, thinking as imagining Vidu as a beggar. ‘Why do you give me money? What did I do to you to earn this money?’ Vidu asks. ‘What can a little boy like you, who hasn’t even gone to a school can do to earn a dollar from me?’ The tourist asks in return. Vidu takes this question as an insult and as a challenge. He is determined to add a value to his life which is not worthy of a dollar now. The film shows Vidu’s attempt to make his dream a reality.
